The Good News is that Pope Provost will not be reigning for 20 years. The man might be lucky if he has twenty months.

You are entirely correct that the Apostasy has entered a new phase. But the Apostasy entered that phase last year, while most slept.

The FSSP has a Fr Jackson problem. The SSPX has a Fr Rostand Problem. And both organizations have shown that they are part of the problem- organizations that will give Traditional Catholics Bells and Smells- and in the case of the SSPX, maybe some solid dogma once in a while.

Traditional Catholics of all stripes- from the Conservative Bogus Ordo types to the Sedevacantists, are desperately trying to clasp to some sense of normalcy while the Category Seven Geopolitical Storm ramps up. Remember 2020? Those were just the first rain bands. Remember the Great Collapse of 08'? That was the first band of clouds.

Our Lady of Fatima warned of the coming Apostasy. "In Portugal, the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved..."

The Deep Church is much deeper than many would care to believe. Trads of every stripe just want to return to the Pontificate of Pius XII- as though that was the epitome of Christendom. Meanwhile, most do not want to admit the obvious- that the institutions of the Catholic Church are ruled by Satanic Pederasts with an agenda.

Have the promises of Our Lord Jesus Christ failed? Of course not. That is why Our Lady came to Fatima- to confirm what the Prophets have warned about for millennia. Our Lord said the Gates of Hell would not PREVAIL. He DID NOT say they would not fight with every ounce of strength and cunning.

Traditional Catholicism is more than having 10 children and driving an hour to church and watching the incense wafting to heaven accompanied by the ringing of bells. It is the spirit of the Martyrs, the realization that this World is all so much smoke and mirrors compared to eternity. And it is the realization that only at the Foot of the Cross will we ever be truly and lastingly happy here below.

This is obviously, as the author has pointed out, the consolidation of the Spirit of Vatican II, and the Traditional Organizations have all said loud and clear that they want a place under the Big Tent. Only the Sedevacantists are content to be marginalized- although they realize their day is coming. Every time Pope Provost puts his foot in his mouth it is a big boost for the Bottom Line.

Wake up. The "Conclave" was simply a formality. Pope Provost was probably selected, not by Pope Frantic, but by the men giving him orders. Pope Frantic, Pope Provost, and, for that matter, SuperTrump, are every bit the puppets that Joe Biden obviously was.

Once a person recognizes the length, depth, and breadth of the current apostasy, and how it had been planned at least as far back as the days of Canon Roca and Leo XIII, he can understand why Our Lady came to La Salette, Lourdes, and Fatima.

Get those heads out of the seven day news cycle, and start comprehending prophecy in the Light of Eternity.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, Yesterday, Today, and Forever, the Same.

Okay. So what do we in the trenches do? Where do we go to mass? Where do we receive sound catechesis? Whom can we trust? Should we all just move to Portugal and hang out in the mountains praying and fasting? I'm not sure how much more analysis of the problem (which I value very much) I can take without plans and solutions to balance it.

Good good questions.

Praying and Fasting is always good, whether in the Pyrenees or the Appalachians.

Where do we go to Mass?

We go to Mass where we can rest assured the Mass is valid, the priest is reasonably trying to live a life of sanctity, and the Faith is nurtured in the Traditional fashion. Not too many such Masses these days. Many priests do not have an Apostolic Mandate. Others are invalidly ordained. Others are criminally silent about the very grave disorders within their organizations. If we cannot get to Mass, we have the Most Holy Rosary. "The Arm of the Lord is not shortened that He cannot save." "One day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, I will save the World." (These words of Our Lady imply the ordinary means of sanctification will be overcome.) "It is never too late to have recourse to the Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary."

We should prepare, both physically and spiritually, for the coming chastisements. We should withdraw ourselves from the New Sodom. This means boycotting movies, sports, and other entertainments. We should realize that every minute God gives us is precious, and employ it accordingly. We should work to build a sustainable household, and spend our time sustaining others both materially and spiritually. All for the Salvation of Souls, no matter our state in life.

We should realize the days are very evil, and not shrink from the Truth. It is easy to be overwhelmed, and it is particularly easy in these times of Great Deception to succumb to false hopes and wishful thinking.

The Holy Ghost is the gift of Faithful Recitation of the Most Holy Rosary. He will lead us into all truth.

In the Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

I would add to also go to the nearest chapel or Church to visit the Blessed Sacrament, study the Catechism of Trent and Credo, listen to Gregorian chants, and sound homilies online. Basically while in our fox holes feed the soul and pray. The end goal is Heaven, preparing for judgement and at the same time work to not a give an inch to the enemy to who I say "nuts".

Yes, it does help immensely, especially for Newbies, to surround themselves as much as possible with the patrimony of Christendom. (I won't get into how the Liber Usualis, especially the '62 version, is a complete shipwreck, the intuitive will quickly see for themselves that Churchmen were bad liturgists for a very, very long time.)

I don't know how closely I can associate kneckties with the crusades, monks, and all that. I know they were a staple in the 1950's. That was for many people the epitome of Christendom. (They might want to review how much we have lost since 1789, the Secular coming-out party.)

To help to maintain the truly Catholic perspective and foster a true Catholic mindset, we find it's been very helpful to read!! Dom Gueranger, The Liturgical Year!!; and sermons from 17th, 18th, 19th centuries! Archives.com can give you access to them, if you don't have funds to purchase them! Fr. Franz Hunolt, Cardinal Manning, Bishop Massillon, Abbot Joseph Rivius, Fr. Thomas White, Fathers and Doctors of the Church, St. John Vianney, St. Alphonsus Liguori, etc. Amazing how the deposit of Faith can be traced through so many centuries! It's encouraging, it's challenging, and it's beautiful! One book we would surely recommend, is "The Return of the King" by Fr. James Coleridge!

Dom Gueranger was indeed a Very Good Egg, the beneficiary of access to a lots of archives that were hidden away while the Revolutionaries were making the world safe for Dumbocracy. It is tragic that liturgical anarchists, like Adrian Forteque, piggybacked on his work, while the Vatican hijacked the renewal of Gregorian Chant of his monks, and made it their own.

The two must read books are "The Devil's Final Battle" by Fr Paul Kramer and "Fatima in Twilight", which is the compilation of many essays but attributed to a fictional author Mark Fellows. If you want to cut your teeth on Eschatology, Fr Bernard Kramer's Book of Destiny is a must read. While it suffers from his derision for the Latin Vulgate and his American Exceptionalism, it has aged well. I don't agree with everything he says, but he still gives much food for thought, and well proves that "Biblical Times" never ended, just as the Freemasons present at the Miracle of the Sun in Portugal found out.

Your zeal is admirable and necessary but I fear you've gone a bit too far. That said, and more particularly, I need ask what prompts your suggestion that the current pontificate "might be lucky if he has twenty months." Such undermines your veracity. Further, being a great devotee of Our Lady of Fatima for many decades, I find myself unsettled by the current state of the Church in Portugal which, painfully, appears further over the edge of error than I ever would have imagined...

It has never been easy being one of those Prophets of Gloom and Doom Condemned by Good Pope John, but like Fred, Superchicken's Sidekick, I knew the job was dangerous when I took it.

For years now I have been suggesting that the period between Our Lady's Appearence at Pontevedra giving us the First Saturdays devotion and reparation, and her apparition at Tuy, which culminates the Great Fatima Cycle, is 42 Months, which corresponds with the Reign of the Antichrist. I first noticed this in 2017, when everybody thought that something was going to happen because that was the centennial of the Great Cycle of the Apparitions.

So,I am looking for something to happen Dec 10th of this year, and have been for some time- the definitive manifestation of the Reign of the Antichrist, at least to his cronies, and the period when he will select his ten anti-Apostles.

2025 has been breathtaking so far. It has given us SuperTrump and MAGA Pope. And both are being hailed as the Great Peacemakers. Meanwhile, the State of Israel is flirting with prophecies of Isaias, especially concerning the Burden of Damascus, unfulfilled for three millennia. (And that in addition to Red Heifers and wanting to "rebuild the Temple".) (All of this, by the way, I predicted in my former substack under the moniker "White Wolf".)

When 2026 rolls around if the Church shows GENUINE signs of righting herself, I will be pleasantly surprised. When Cardinal Birdbrain and Bishop Bubbles are doing penance in Sackcloth and Ashes atop a Dungheap may I be the first one applauding.

In the meantime, God will have to issue an Apology to Sodom and Gomorrah if allows Clown Planet to roll much longer, and I don't think that is going to happen.

"Don't you see all those roads and fields full of people, crying because they have nothing to eat?" Those words of Little St Jacinta Marto have vanished down the memory hole, which has acquired a tremendous sucking sound at Trad Chapels over the years. St Sr Lucia told St Jacinta those words pertained to the overall Secret, and have never been revealed in context.

Meanwhile, the Vatican has shown itself opposed to Our Lady of Fatima from the start, with the Grand Silence of Benedict XV and Pius XI, the distortions attempted by Pius XII, and the later burying of the message by the Conciliar Popes.

The Great Burning Sky seen by a Billion people January 25th, 1938 was an ominous warning events had entered a new and critical phase. It was not Our Lady warning of WW2, which had already begun in 1933.

Our Lord, at the apparition of Rianjo in 1931, linked Our Lady's Requests of Fatima with His to the King of France in 1689. And we all know what happened in 1789.

So, next year we will know for sure. But even then, rest assured there is no Ordinary Time for modern Man. We are on Fatima time.

Great post.

The SSPX waived the white flag in 2012, but it had been stealthily reaching out to Rome since Lefebvre’s death)and had moles working in that direction at the top even before then).

If you want to see how really bad it is, go to Rorate Caeli and see what our new modernist bishop has in store even for those who attend the Novus Ordo. All tradition and beauty are to be wiped out. If there is no resistance from the priests, everything we accomplished over the last twenty years in the Diocese of Charlotte will be wiped out. We do at least have an SSPX chapel for refuge. May God have mercy on us.

Lol, the truly informed and 'faithful' of Rome already spoke up... against Vatican I, against The Filioque, and against all the innovations of Rome over the past 1000 years. When will you finally understand that?

Lord Acton spoke up, Abbe Guettee spoke up, Bishop Strossmayer of St. Louis spoke up, the entire Gallican Church spoke up, and on and on. So many already spoke up. Rome is already apostate.

Prudence and Fortitude.

When the State took my son, I waited in peace.

Still waiting for BlackSwan event, the Hand of God that will wipe away GreatSatan and States' gov, leaving only local gov.

His Just Defending Hand might be in the Form of; CivilWar, WWIII, Fire from Sky, .. and His Justice will protect us all from the Synagogue-of-Satan's minions. They will never harm another family, from the grave.

The Body of Jesus Christ on Earth must do the same. We will know the time to act with Prudence - and when it is time - do not burn the Vatican down!

I think the TLM has many issues, and the largest issue is not embracing Vatican II. V.II was sent confirmed and finalized by the GOD himself thru the Holy Spirit, The Pope and Magisterium (including B. Lefebvre) if you deny V.II, by definition you have denied Christ himself. The real problem is that V. II exposed the true state of the church, the true state of the Bishops, especially in the US. Trumping Lefvbre (who died in a schematic state- and I pray for his soul) ranks up to the equivalent as say… Luther!!! Calvin!!!

TLM needs to find better champions of Obedience.

Today the culture of the TLM is very Cultish. How on earth could any REAL Catholic say on any day of the week that the NO is dismal or outrageous?! “Is the Lord not Truly Present in the Eucharist!”

Shame on any Catholic that would even consider saying such words, these words ARE a Desecration. How can one say that I am more holy or closer to God when I attend a reverent mass, when you turn your head and see and scarf at other families who are not well educated with the sin of pride. Better for you to repent and pull the log out of your own eye, Craig said love your neighbor love your enemy. How does the TLM love anyone that doesn’t believe what they believe? Very cultish, and I hope and pray that this attitude dies out very quickly.

Instead, bros fight for truth in the realities that we are given, plead to the bishops to remove communion on the hand. Plead to the bishops to bring back communion rails in all NO masses. Plead to the bishops and fight for your brothers and sisters who are in the NO masses and are not informed or educated.

It is a lie, not a truth, to believe that salvation only comes in the TLM form.

Unfortunately, this article presents many of those such lies. How can we have respect for mother church or the magisterium when we call the Holy Father by his ‘Bergoglio’ name? This too, is disgraceful and needs to change.

Get on your knees and pray for our pope for there is a very good chance He will be here for more than 20 years, pray for his conversion and his total unity with our Lord, write those letters to your bishops.

Don’t fight for further division in the church, fight for her unity, a purified V.II church that has been handed down to us by the Holy Spirit. Vatican II was not a mistake, it has become OUR mission!

You’re spot on! I’ll never understand why the Society (Bishop Fellay and Archbishop Lefebvre) decided to accept Vatican II and the Novus Ordo, and the new Sacaments as valid but illicit. Instead of the Society working to call the heretical apostates back to the true Faith, the Society wants to “reunite” with Rome. Who left the Church first? The Society or Rome? The only explanation I can think of is that the Society is scared to death to say that the Sedevacantists are right.

However, the Council of Trent and Pope Saint Pius V codified the Latin Mass in the Roman rite- never to be changed or modified in any way in perpetuity. Montini had no right to change or suppress or abolish any of the minor orders or to suppress/abolish the Latin Mass. Only an antipope can do that.

The only problem I see with Lefebvre and Fellay, is that they both eventually caved to all of post-Vatican II “popes” by accepting Vatican II and the Novus Ordo as both valid and licit. The SSPX leadership want to reunite with the Modernist, heretical, apostate church rather than be called Sedevacantists. How sad.

Has Trad Inc. Supposedly Succumbed to the Stockholm Syndrome?

The highly organized section of traditionalist Catholics who so constitute a sort of officialdom, denominated as Trad Inc., appears to have yielded a portion of their precious sanity, over the coming of the EVIL anti-Pope Leo XIV. They now do try hard to see various disputed matters from the unique perspective of the Modernist persecutors of the Traditional Latin Mass Community (TLMC). What is the troubling problem properly exposed here?

In earlier times, they, for instance, might have even warmly so sympathized with notable Emperor Marcus Aurelius, as a fairly enlightened despot, who had eagerly persecuted the Christians -- for the truly best of intentions, as they might have then just blithely assumed.

Of course, all good Catholics, e. g., ought to earnestly pray for the salvation of Leo XIV's soul; however, it is not at all morally mandatory to ever cheer him on, as a persecutor of the Holy Catholic Faith, because he may be genuinely filled, after all, with some very good intentions. Trad Inc., thus, seems to have sadly fallen into a strangely Christian version of the amazing Stockholm Syndrome, by greeting the arrival of this new rendition of a Modernist so-called Pope, with an odd enthusiasm. Fortunately, the TLMC is not a monolithic organism that all simply moves, in only one solid direction, at some central command.

Some intelligent traditionalists, at least, usually the RadTrads, have still reserved a healthy and needed skepticism, regarding the Modernist clique or cabal that runs Vatican affairs, since the highly heretical Second Vatican Council. They do rightly know that the entire, the complete, Holy Catholic Faith is to be ever absolutely defended and affirmed, not just or simply an isolated concern, however profound, for the TLM itself.

Trad Inc., now, appears to be quite very grateful for the continued and too blatant marginalization, contempt, derision, persecution, hatred, etc. heaped upon the TLM, in the verily sick way that a true masochist surely so loves his pain and suffering.

Fortunately, the cognitively steady RadTrads have not been easily fooled, because they do not wish to be fooled, unlike the verily idiotic situation of Trad Inc. and its too many, many self-deluded followers. Q. E. D.

Athanasius contra mundum!
